- Based on international archival research conducted over seven years in libraries from London to Hong Kong and the South Pacific, Modernism in the Metrocolony is an ambitious, global project that promotes a new postcolonial methodology for reading the modernist city. Developing an original and timely critical paradigm – ‘metrocolonial’ modernism – the book combines comparative analyses of urban discourses in cities across the British Empire with new readings of canonical modernist texts alongside lesser-known works of Pacific literature. With its extensive interdisciplinary research, creative re-readings and significantly original interpretative framework, the book represents a major contribution to the field.
